Resistance heating is 100% efficient, how can inductive heating be more efficient than that?

Resistance heating is 100% efficient at heating the element, but to heat the pan, it has to transfer through the pan/element interface.

100% isn't the highest efficiency you can get though. It's even more efficient to use the electrical energy to concentrate existing heat than it is to create new heat

Resistance heating is 100% efficient at heating the world. Considerably less efficient at heating the one specific pot you are trying to heat.

Outside is a really large heat sink. So you can dump unwanted heat or cold outside to heat out cool your house using a heat pump.
